Why don't China's mobile phone manufacturers use the HarmonyOS operating system to boycott Google?

To put it bluntly, HarmonyOS System is the immature technology released by Huawei in advance to keep the user market. HarmonyOS and Android are both Linux-based operating systems, so the HarmonyOS system is almost perfectly compatible with Android applications, but there are two different R&D routes in the underlying architecture.

On the one hand, Huawei upgraded all its existing models to the HarmonyOS system to prevent Google from imposing restrictions on the operating system. On the other hand, in order to be different from other friends, under the control of the chip, we try to retain the user group with other technologies.

HarmonyOS system is still in the process of perfection, and many functions and interactive logic are still immature. If other manufacturers adopt HarmonyOS system, Huawei's own products must be well managed in the subsequent version upgrade and system maintenance. For products from other manufacturers, it takes a lot of time to adapt and improve, which is time-consuming and laborious.

One more thing, after Huawei was sanctioned by the United States, there was no GMS service, only HMS service above HarmonyOS system. This has no impact on domestic users, but it has a great impact on overseas user markets. Since 20 19, Huawei has been banned from Google services in the United States, and the domestic and international markets have shrunk severely, which is very unfavorable for manufacturers who want to explore the international market.

Brands such as Xiaomi and Yijia are eating away at foreign market share. If we adopt HarmonyOS system without GMS service, it will have a serious impact on our own product market and development route. If you really fight with Google, it is tantamount to asking for trouble for manufacturers with weak technologies such as Xiaomi and ov.

Although Huawei's HarmonyOS system is open source, accessing this operating system requires the manufacturer to have a certain product domain foundation, so as to give full play to the maximum capacity of the HarmonyOS system. HarmonyOS OS is characterized by distributed operating system logic, which can embed the system into many large and small electronic products for system-level collaborative deployment.

From this perspective, in fact, Xiaomi's Mijia ecological chain is the most suitable choice. Mijia is better than Huawei's hilink in operational logic and product richness. However, Xiaomi's current brand development route is still trying to seize the high-end market that Huawei has given up. Huawei and Huawei are competitors and will not cooperate with Huawei in a short time.

Huawei itself is a communication manufacturer, and it has sufficient funds to invest in the semiconductor design and manufacturing of terminal products. HarmonyOS system itself is an operating system developed by Huawei, just for adding it to mobile phones in the future and realizing cross-platform interconnection based on distributed characteristics.

However, the sanctions imposed by the United States allow HarmonyOS to conduct large-scale commercial testing in advance, which is why HarmonyOS Systems has been recruiting developers to test new systems in forums. It takes a lot of manpower and time to establish and improve the new system. For other mobile phone manufacturers now, seizing the market is the biggest competition point.

Not every manufacturer has the funds to develop systems and semiconductor designs. For a technology giant like Huawei, consumer electronics are just a means to make a living, not the only means. For other manufacturers, consumer electronics may be the only way to make a living.
